Abstract
The invention relates to screed mixtures, comprising an inorganic binder, processing additives and drying additives. Self-levelling floor screeds according to the invention can be produced from these screed mixtures, said self-levelling floor screeds drying much more quickly than self-levelling floor screeds with the same composition, but which contain no drying additives.
Claims10
A screed mixture, comprising an inorganic binder, processing additives for improving processability of the screed, and drying additives, wherein the drying additives are selected from hydrophobing agents, or wherein the drying additives are selected from a mixture of hydrophobing agents and pore forming agents, or a mixture of hydrophobing agents and porous additives, or a mixture of hydrophobing agents, pore forming agents and porous additives, wherein the hydrophobing agent is contained in a quantity of 0.03 to 0.15 wt. % related to the total mass of the screed mixture, or wherein the drying additives are selected from a mixture of pore forming agents and porous additives, wherein the pore forming agent and the porous additive are each contained in a quantity of 0.001 to 10 wt. % related to the total mass of the screed mixture.
A self-levelling floor screed, comprising an inorganic binder, fillers, processing additives for improving processability of the screed, and drying additives, wherein the drying additives are selected from hydrophobing agents, or wherein the drying additives are selected from a mixture of hydrophobing agents and pore forming agents, or a mixture of hydrophobing agents and porous additives, or a mixture of hydrophobing agents, pore forming agents and porous additives, wherein the hydrophobing agent is contained in a quantity of 0.03 to 0.15 wt. % related to the total mass of the screed mixture, and/or the drying additives are selected from a mixture of pore forming agents and porous additives, wherein the pore forming agent and the porous additive are each contained in a quantity of 0.001 to 10 wt. % related to the total mass of the screed mixture.
A method including the use of a hydrophobing agent as a drying additive, the method including a step of adding the hydrophobing agent to a chemically setting binder composition in a quantity of 0.03 to 0.15 wt. % related to the total mass of the composition.
